(back) Subject: Ice Storm Story From: Craig Issod <[email protected]> Date: Sat, 24 Jan 1998 22:47:55 -0400 Thought this was a good one to share. I'll be posting these good ones on HearthNet after I get a few more. They act as good reminders of woodstove and gas fireplace benefits. Woodstove performance during IceStorm 98 We live in rural Ontario and were effected by the ice storm having no power, water for nine days and phone service down at times. The only reason we could stay in our home is the presence of a woodstove. The newly installed woodstove heated the house quite comfortably, maintaining a room temperature ranging from 15deg C (59 deg F),some mornings, to 23 degC (74 deg F) after stoking it all day. The stove also seved as a way to warm water for coffee and hot chocolate for the kids. My wife even cooked a small roast with vegatables on it, mind you, it took 3 hours, but we weren't going any where! And when our water ran out, we melted snow on it. It also prevented our pipes from freezing. Most people during our blackout, without a heat source were forced into shelters as outside temperatures dipped to -16 deg C ( 3 deg F). We cannot express how fortunate we feel to have a woodstove and would not own another without one. One disadvantage .....candle-lit evenings by the fire side as lost its romantic appeal ! ------------------------------------------------------ Craig Issod HearthNet at http://www.hearth.com [email protected] Everything your Hearth Desires ------------------------------------------------------ Buddha says "avoid error" ------------------------------------------------------
